Portland Accused Of Discrimination Portland OP) The city of Portland was accused here Wednesday of discrimination in enforcement of the city housing code. Mrs. Mary Ristick, member of the city's Gypsy minority, filed suit in Federal Court for a pre liminary injunction on grounds that' the housing code enforce ment has singled out Gypsy families. Mrs. Ristick's family is one of 45 ordered to vacate store build ings converted into dwellings in the downtown business area. The city contends the- stores fail to meet city housing ' and health standards. The Gypsies claim they are rebuffed each time they try to relocate in a new neighborhood. Attorney Theodore Lachman said the Ristick. suit does not at tack the constitutionality of the housing code but rather the "ar bitrary" manner of its enforcement. Boy Arrested A 14-year-old Medford boy was arrested Wednesday by city police on charges of assault with a deadly weapon. He was released to his mother, with instructions to ap pear before county juvenile au thorities. Soot Burning Two pumper trucks answered a house fire alarm at the Grant A.

Greeters Committee Visits Camp White Thursday, May 18. 19S7 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIFTEDf Spurt in Rail Shares Give Market Incentive - New York HP) R ailroad shares, laggards in a rising stock market, got into the act today to give the bull market a new incentive in its drive for a record high. Industrial shares generated Sewer Line Break Floods Spokane Spokane lfW--A large sec tion of downtown Spokane was flooded late Wednesday when a main sewer, line broke under pressure of runoff from a cloud burst which dumped ' about an inch of rain on the city within two hours.- Police evacuated about 175 tenants from two large apart ment buildings after the 30-inch main burst and undermined the structures. The rushing runoff snapped water and gas mains. . The area affected covered 20 blocks lying between the bus iness district, the Spokane river and Sunset Hill. Parts of the area were under four feet of water at one time. The corner of one of the evac uated buildings, the Villa Nova apartments, was washed away. The .building and a neighboring apartment, located on West Riv erside ave., were perched on the edge of a steep bank above the river. About 20 industries of various types have sprung up in the White City area in the last eight years. An estimated 700 to 1.000 people are directly employed at these industries and an estimat ed 25 per cent more find indi rect employment from them through trucking, shipping or other related activities. About 30 rail cars are loaded each day with products manu factured or processed in ' the area. During the month of April 850 cars were loaded and sent out of the White City area, ac cording to John Laden of White City Realty company. Host to Greeters White" City Realty" company was host Thursday morning to the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce greeters committee coffee clatch. Purpose of the session was to introduce cham ber members and representatives of industries in the White City Area. About 35 people, were present, representing about 20 business and industrial firms. Included in the industries represented were Medford Moulding comp any, W. H. Daugherty company, Columbia Utilities company, Carolina-Pacific Plywood, Beav er Lumber Sales, Burrill Lum ber company, Cascade Wood Products, Industrial Lumber and Medford Metals. Laden said the .- White City industrial area covers approxi mately 1,285 acres. About half of the area is being used by in dustries at the present time. Two-thirds of the property lies east of Highway 62 and the re mainder is on the west side of the highway. Provide! Water the White City Realty com pany provides water for fire pro tection in the area and also handles terminal switching and delivery of rail cars. . Laden explained that indust rial facilities are installed as soon as funds are available when they are needed, without cost to the rest of Jackson county. He noted that there is no need in the area for costly elections and other procedures when new installations are required. Discussion among industrial representatives emphasized need for "some concession" in view of the present tax situation in Ore gon if additional industries are to settle here. Need for more diversified industries other than lumber was also pointed out. Electronics and plastics were named as examples of this type CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank all our customers for their partronge these past 13 years. We hope you -will continue to do business at the Rose Grocery with the new .owners, Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Fields. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Neumer of industry A growing trend toward uti lizing cull or scrap products in manufacturing in the area was cited by chamber members as a commendable practice. Speak at Clatch Jim Scott, assistant chief of the Central Point Rural Fire department, was also among the speakers during the coffee clatch. He said the department now has three paid men, one stationed at the Central Point headquarters and two at White City. There is one man on reg ular duty at all times at White City, he pointed out. He added there are also several volunteer firemen available for calls in White City, but more are need ed. Scott said the department sells protection on a contract basis to some firms which are outside of the district boundaries but are located near the boundaries. Several industries represented at the meeting offered tours of their establishments for those attending the coffee clatch. Carrier Strikes Mysterious Object Jacksonville, Fla. OB Radar ships and planes today searched the shallow ocean area where the carrier Franklin D. Roose velt struck a mysterious under water object, bringing an ' oil slick bubbling to the surface. Navy spokesmen in Washing ton and at the carrier base at Mayport, near Jacksonville, vaguely but firmly, discounted speculation ' the carrier " might have struck a foreign submar ine. There have been numerous unsubstantiated reports recently that Russian subs are lurking along the East Coast. .".. A spokesman in Washington theorized the Roosevelt might have struck a whale or a sub merged wreck. The water where the ship was damaged is not very 'deep and is a graveyard for ships sunk by German -. submar ines during World War II, the spokesman said. The Roosevelt "shuddered" on impact with the object, accord ing to its skipper, Capt. T. W. Hopkins. Damage was "appar ently not too extreme," the Navy said.
